Mrs. Victoria Baumgartner,

perents went to Johnstown
where they enlisted in the]
aviation branch of Uncle Sam’s
army. On Monday morning
they were shipped to Pittsburg
and on Monday evening were
on their way to Columbus, O.
While if was a rash act on the
part of the lads, they may
thereby learn obedience better
than they could be taught any-
~ where else.
The election seems to be
very quiet in both the town-

Oh, well, it may not be the big
